Transcribed Text: CAROLINE'S FIRST LETTER TO LYMAN GOODNOW* 1880 Sandwich April 17th Dearest friend, pen and ink could hardly express my joy when i heard from you once more. I am living and have to work very hard, but i have never forgotten you nor your kindness. i am in Sandwich, the same place where you left me. Just as soon as the postmaster read the name to me, your name, my heart was filled with joy and gladness and i should like to see you once more before I die to return you thanks for your kindness towards me. I would like for you to send me one of those books that you was speaking about. Dearest friend, you don’t know how rejoiced i feel since i heard from you. Answer this as soon as you get it and let me know how you are and your address. Direct your letter to Caroline Watkins, Sandwich On Co 98. i hope you will send me one of those books you speak about.
